Cubs Fans Are Getting Angry

"Ur a prick."

That's the text message I received from a die-hard Cubs fan when I floated the possibility of Wrigley Field being called something else in the near future (see picture below).

It seems the team's new owner, wee little Sam Zell,* is considering selling off the naming rights of the second oldest ballpark in the country.

A White Sox fan replied to my text with a laugh, having already been through the demolition of old Comiskey Park and its new branding by a mom-and-pop, bodega-sized wireless carrier.

I predict riots and tears on the day the construction crews arrive to swap the signage.

Although born a Sox fan, Rider is known to enjoy a few Bud Lights within the Friendly Confines each season
